I think the price is a question. What did this rifle cost?
The lack of markings on the stock, the rather square profile, coupled with the action seated rather high, might possibly indicate a Keystone replacement has been fitted at some point and might require additional bedding work for a snug fit. Is there a K in the safety slot of the woodwork, they can be very faint?
The stock is marked with RIA near the bolt handle and two Ps on the underside of the stock near the rear of the trigger guard. When I had the rifle stripped down the stock had the look of being new "old stock" and not something that had been made recently.
Two different threads going on here. The question of price was directed to WarZone.
Sorry, my stock comments were made about Warzones "C" stock, I think we are getting this thread a bit mixed up guys!Quote:

Sorry I'm getting our wires crossed. I've had it a couple of years or so and it's what I call a double deac because it was, before being imported into the U.K., a U.S. de-milled drill rifle. In other words the U.S. version of a deac and, obviously, it had quite a few differences to the U.K. deac spec.. The importer then had to modify/make changes to bring it into spec and make it legal to the U.K. deac spec. I don't believe that the action/barrel has had much use or it doesn't appear to have and in-fact it almost looks hardly used at all. However, I do think that it has been built up into a complete gun in fairly recent years but using mainly original parts and probably a complete receiver/bolt/barrel assembly from storage.
I didn't have a great deal of choice as there doesn't seem to be many available for sale over here in the U.K..
